Twisted Choppers’ Shovelheaded Kill Machine

Twisted Choppers’ Shovelheaded Kill Machine is built around a deliberately low, stretched profile and a strong contrast between polished metal, deep black wheels and an orange-painted frame. The source identifies it as a Biker Build Off-winning motorcycle, while the supplied material offers no further competition details or technical specification sheet.

Long, low and unmistakably custom

The motorcycle’s proportions do most of the talking. A compact solo seat sits close to the rear wheel, while the long front end pushes a large five-spoke wheel well ahead of the engine. That arrangement gives the bike a dramatic rake and makes the front tyre a major part of its visual identity rather than a supporting detail.

Bright orange tubing outlines the chassis and continues into the rear section, creating a clear structural frame around the engine and drivetrain. The metallic gold tank follows the same custom-painted direction, but its smoother finish contrasts with the darker, more mechanical surfaces below.

Mechanical detail left on display

There is little attempt to hide the powertrain. The finned V-twin, polished covers and exposed intake occupy the centre of the motorcycle, with heat-wrapped exhaust headers adding a rougher texture beneath the chrome and paint. The narrow tank leaves much of the upper engine visible, so the bike reads as an assembled mechanical object rather than a fully enclosed design.

At the front, the exposed spring and fork arrangement reinforces the old-school chopper vocabulary, while the broad black wheel and modern-looking tyre give the nose a heavier, more contemporary stance. The rear wheel uses a matching dark finish, helping the two ends of the motorcycle feel visually connected despite the extended front geometry.

A finish built around contrast

Small details keep the colour scheme from becoming one-note. The seat appears to use brown leather with visible upholstery work, and the rear section combines orange structure with darker bodywork and metal hardware. Together, those choices give the build a distinctly show-oriented presence without relying on graphics or excessive body panels.

The available source names the motorcycle and its builder but does not document engine displacement, chassis dimensions, component brands, performance or current status. For the original listing and supplied image, see Twisted Choppers’ source image.
